Inside Google's search office
August 5, 2011
(Cross-posted on the
Inside Search Blog
)
I’ve been working with Matt Cutts and Ben Gomes in the same office for over 10 years. We work on search every day, and earlier this week, we took our office talk to the stage at an event hosted by the
Churchill Club
. Search Engine Land’s
Danny Sullivan
moderated our in-depth discussion on search, how it works, and what’s ahead for us in the future. We also reminisced about first joining Google, the time my car ran out of gas as Ben and I discussed a change to the algorithm, and other great memories over the years.
Come sit inside our office for a chat about Google Search:

To hear the discussion on why we don’t hand-pick results, start watching at
41:04
For more on my vision for the future of search, jump to

Guess who Danny thinks is the brains, looks, and brawn of this operation at
1:08
(hint: I’m the brains).
